Comment on How realistic is the threat of the government remotely manipulating digital devices you own and planting evidence?

Possible? Yes. Going to happen? No.

If your authoritarian government wants you gone they don’t need to pull off Hollywood Hacker shit. They can get you for “drugs” (that they planted) or even just outright “disappear” you. They can get rid of you quietly, anonymously, and only your equally powerless kith and kin will care.

This kind of evidence planting is only for REALLY FAMOUS PEOPLE, when they want to put them through courts and convince the peasantry that, actually, this guy deserved it, and don’t be like him, before putting them in an electric chair.
